Question

9. A recent study examining the effects of sugar consumption on a middle

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) Because the confidence interval includes 0, we don't have convincing evidence that sugar causes faster reading times, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population mean difference in reading is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean difference in reading time can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

In using confidence interval of population mean difference in reading times for hypothesis testing, if the interval obtained contains a value of 0, it means the population mean difference in reading times can take on a value of 0 and indicate that there isn't enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the two quantities being compared. (The null hypothesis is true).

If the interval doesn't contain a 0, then it can be concluded that there is enough evidence to conclude that there is significant difference in the two quantities being compared.

Hope this Helps!!!
